In using ad aware se, the security picked up two adware.cdns. I tried to remove them and they seem to come back. I checked on the web and spyware doctor is supposed to remove them.

obj[0]=Regkey : software\microsoft\internet explorer\activex compatibility\{9a578c98-3c2f-4630-890b-fc04196ef420}



Anyway, what happens (in 4.0 and similar results occur in spyware doc 5.0 but I'm not sure how to follow them) is that ad-aware quarantines the two objects.

A second leader spyware doc pops up saying that it has immunimized my computer against one more activex thingie.

Then i rescan with adware and the adware.cdn reappears. Only ad-aware flags this malware, spydoctor does not, spybot does not, avg anti-spyware does not.

Advice would be appreciated.

The same re-occurrence takes place on my machine in which I'm testing 5.0.

thanks

Hi
This is a false positive by Ad-aware, I have had it on my machine. It is detecting immunizer entries from Spyware Doctor. However on the latest Ad-aware definitions (released today) I did not have this.

thanks. Turns out i'm running a slightly older version of ad-adaware. updated to newer version and downloaded defs and problem vanished, at least on the first computer.
